problem_activity: Activity
The goal of this activity is for students to learn how to calculate
standard deviation
(
\(\sigma\)
or
\(\sigma_x\)
) using technology. Standard deviation is a measure of variability. The work in this activity prepares students to be successful in a future Algebra 1 lesson when they have to calculate the standard deviation of data sets.
Launch
Allow students to work individually. If technology is limited, students can work in pairs. Provide access to devices that can run GeoGebra or other statistical technology. Demonstrate how to use the technology available in your classroom to compute the standard deviation of a data set. For the purposes of exploration, use the population standard deviation, often denoted
\(\sigma\)
or
\(\sigma_x\)
.
